the sign are here. little barriers in civil liberties and trust are being broken left and right. We now vote for two candidates who speak against war but vote to continue. Two candidates who have seen the devastation that NAFTA and so called free trade has wrote, the loss of our business infrastructure. Yet they want to put a band aid on it. The will keep for profit health care but promise to make the plans more affordable. These people are selling us kool aid. we have to vote and these are supposed to be progressives? are you kidding me? their policies will not fix america, america will get worse, republicans will win in 2012 because we voted for a dem to fix them. These policies will not do it. The candidates are bought and paid for, doesn't matter which one got the most from people, they are still bought for by corporate interests. Take an outside look at them and their policies without trying to sell one of the candidates to yourself. YOu will find that they in fact offer nothing of change but more of the same.

One of these two people will be president. I can vote for a 3rd party candidate all i want but because of mob mentality and our voting system (should be run off balloting for proper voting) we will never have a 3rd party win.

So no hope for either candidate who will win (or if neither a repub which is the same only worse) and no hope for a 3rd party unless a miracle happens I am gonna have my passport updated and paperwork in with the canadian embassy.

4. true
but just like the media is making me choose for the lesser evil of two candidates I can choose the lesser evil of where I live. Plus if global warming is right might be a good place for real estate hehe. Also Canada doesnt have the budget american does to screw up the world. And canada is not reviled by the world. If canada ever gets to bad I can always leave their to right?

3. Dual citizenship? Why not Arnold Schwarzenegger retains his Austrian citizenship as Gov. of CA.

5. Migrate? There's an interesting thought
Though if I did, I'd go the whole Marlon Brando way; move out to a deserted tropical island and have my McDonald's Big Macs delivered by boat and thrown over the privacy fence towards the grass shack.:-)

6. I'm not praying. I am working hard for the candidate that has the skills and background to solve
problems. The prayers can stay with the religious right.

9. I'm considering emmigrating, too
but I'm not yet married to Canada. There are other good possibilities. The Scandanavian countries have strong democracies. Others of interest to me: UK, Italy, Argentina.
